Epitomising contemporary chic, the stretching Agua restaurant dining room is filled with clean lines and sleek modern furnishings. The extensive bar menu features cocktails and a fine selection of wine, spirits and beers.

A statuesque presence in one of the city’s most popular areas, Agua restaurant in Edinburgh is set in the luxurious Apex International Hotel. Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station is a 9-minute walk away.

Good value for money Christmas lunch.Attentive friendly staff.Although there were Christmas trees in the bar area I felt the restaurant area could have done with some festive decoration as well.Overall a pleasant experience.

Excellent meal in a relaxed environment away from the hustle and bustle of the festival. Ate from fixed price menu and the prawn and chorizo linguine was superb. Service excellent and no pressure to leave,will definitely return.
